GROCERY SHOPPING 2021 | COST OF LIVING IN AMERICAN SAMOA | Living Expenses on a Tropical Island
A lot has changed during this past year, including the COST OF LIVING IN AMERICAN SAMOA. We're here today to show you how much you can expect to spend when grocery shopping on Tutuila.
Last time we made a Grocery Shopping Cost of Living video, we focused solely on grocery stores, but this time we decided we'd better include one of the many roadside produce stands, where they sell locally grown fruits and vegetables.
Let us know where you do your grocery shopping in American Samoa or which place you'd like to try. Thanks again for watching! Tofa Soifua!

What do you do all day? What do you do for work?
I've heard that first question since I decided to stay home with my first baby, instead of going back to work.

MOVING to AMERICAN SAMOA | SHIPPING HOUSEHOLD ITEMS OR BUYING THEM LOCALLY | COST OF LIVING
TO SHIP or NOT TO SHIP, that is the question when you're moving to AMERICAN SAMOA.
Thanks to our sponsor, SKILLSHARE, the first 1,000 people to use this link will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare:
Moving can be stressful and chaotic, no matter how far you're going, but moving across oceans can be next level!
When moving to American Samoa, you're probably either going to sell all of your household items and need to buy replacements once you arrive or you'll need to arrange to ship it all. Or maybe even a combination of both.
Anyway you choose, this can seem overwhelming and confusing. Well, we've got you covered. For shipping, look into ICS, and CSL, for information, pricing, and customer service.
If you're planning on purchasing new household items, we've included the many furniture and appliance stores around Tutuila, the main island of American Samoa.
While we weren't able to actually answer the question for you (each situation is unique), hopefully we've been able to provide you with the information you need to make the choice that's right for you and make the process a little less intimidating and overwhelming.
For more information on shipping and packing, head over to AmSamFam.com for a detailed list of packing instructions provided to us by ICS.
Let us know if you've used one of these shipping options and how it worked out for you.

FAGATOGO MARKET | FAGATOGO FISH MARKET | Shopping Local, Fresh, and Sustainable in American Samoa
Wondering where to go for fresh and local food while in AMERICAN SAMOA?
This week we're taking you with us to check out the FAGATOGO MARKET.
We ended up going three times while making this video, to show you the experiences of going on different days and at different times.
Saturday morning is actually rather quiet, which surprised us. The first Friday of every month is usually very busy, with food venders and entertainment, but ever since the COVID-19 restrictions, it's been a quieter affair, but still with some delicious food venders. It turns out that Friday mornings are the time to come if you're looking for fresh produce and sea food, with the Fagatogo Fish Market open only on Friday mornings.
Let us know if you've been to the MARKET and what your experience was like.
And as always, THANK-YOU so much for being here, watching our videos and supporting our adventures.

Take a dip into the cool waters of MALIU MAI OCEAN POOL.

We've been here before and have always enjoyed the ocean pool, but with the recent updates, like expanded ocean pool and general facelift, it's like a whole new place. The new management is incredibly friendly and welcoming and you'd better believe we'll be going back a lot more often now.
